[Verse 1]
E E
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him,
G#
"Lemon Boy"
A
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his
F#m B
hair like a weed
E G#
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
So,
A F#m B
I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus]
A E G# C#m B
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
A E G#
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad
C#m B
weather
A E G# C#m B
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like
A B
him So I got myself
E
a citrus friend
[Verse 2]
E G#
But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
A F#m B
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
E G#
I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type
A F#m
And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon
B
pie
[Chorus]
A
So Lemon Boy and me,
E G# C#m B
we just gotta get along together
A E G#
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in
C#m B
bad weather
A E G# C#m B
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like
A B
him So, I got myself
E
a citrus friend
[Interlude]
E G#
But what if I run out of fertilizer
A Am
What if the clouds run out of rain
A E
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer
G# A
What if the beaches dry of sugarcane
Am
Oh well
E
The whales start to beach themselves
G# A
The tortoise shells tear away from their spines
It happens all the time,
Am F#m B E
it happens all the time
G# A Am F#m B
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Lemon Boy and I,
E G# C#m B
we're gonna live forever
A
Like Snufkin and Little My,
E G# C#m B
we'll get around wherever
[Chorus]
A
Lemon Boy and I,
E G# C#m B
we're gonna live forever
A
Like Snufkin and Little My,
E G# C#m B
we'll get around wherever
A E G# C#m B
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like
A B
him 'Cause we're the bit
A B
terest boys in town Yeah, we're the bit
A B
terest guys around And I got myself
E
a citrus friend
